Andersen Genève Perpetuel Secular Calender

Collecting · · by Christian Bissener


Andersen Genève perpetual secular calendar on a wrist, silver dial with calendar windows

The perpetual secular calendar by Svend Andersen is an outstanding timepiece. The 40 mm case sits well on the wrist, and its Art Deco style lugs give it a beautiful shape. The dial, which can be personalised, shows the number of the watch as well as the date.

The real interest lies on the back. The Perpetuel Secular Calender is programmed to the year 2400, with leap years and secular years, so the date never has to be corrected by hand. It is set for the coming secular years: 2100, 2200 and 2300 end on 28 February, and 2400 on 29 February.
